The company behind Ecover is committed to making high-quality products that are kind to the environment but still work well. Completely biodegradable, this was definitely the most expensive washing powder we tried, and the most
suited to sensitive skin (including eczema). Fragrance-free and made from plant-based ingredients, it also has a minimum impact on aquatic life. The box is made of 95% recycled cardboard. The laundry range contains 10 products, including Laundry Liquid, Delicate Wash, Fabric Softeners, Bleach, Stain Remover, and Bio Washing Tablets, giving you excellent choice.

The good bits: It was hard to get used to a washing powder without any added fragrance, but this is actually fantastic for those who are sensitive to perfumes. Great for washing baby clothes in particular. It easily handled dirt and urine. Chocolate, tomato sauce, and blood faded almost completely, but required a second wash to completely come out. The permanent ink also faded a bit, but was still noticeable. They also have a great website with lots of product information on it, and information about their philosophy, so you really feel like you can understand the brand.

The tricky bits: Opening the box! One of those ones with the side-to-side pull strip that never quite seems to rip the way it says it should. But that’s likely because the box is made of incredibly sturdy cardboard — our tester had a hard time flattening it for the recycling bin! Also, the price was a bit off-putting, especially finding out that one box only does 12 loads.

Bottom line: Pricey, but worth it, especially if you’re perfume-intolerant or have very sensitive skin.
